Ferit Hoxha

Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Ferit Hoxha, in a post on the X network, reacted to Russia's request for the removal of foreign diplomats from Kiev.

Hoxha emphasized that threatening embassies is not diplomacy and clearly expressed Albania's decision to support Ukraine.

"Albania considers Russia's announcement calling on diplomatic personnel and foreign citizens to leave Kiev ahead of planned attacks as completely unacceptable."

Threatening embassies is not diplomacy; it is intimidation. It represents another violation of international law and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

Albania will not retreat. We remain in Kiev. We stand firmly with Ukraine. And we will not be intimidated.

The answer to this war cannot be more war, more crimes, or indiscriminate attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure.

The only way forward is to end a war that should never have started and engage in genuine and good faith negotiations for peace.

"This was conveyed very clearly today to the Russian Ambassador in Tirana," he wrote.
